Professor Hae Chang Gea, Professor, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Director and Program Chair, Rutgers Packaging Engineering Program

Abstract:

Sustainable packaging has been one of the top priorities in packaging industries in recent years.  One common tools for evaluating the environmental impact of packages is the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).  Because the LCA analyzes environmental impacts based on multiple environmental indicators, sustainability ranking of packages may be changed if a different environmental indicator is used.  In this presentation, a decision making framework based on the analysis results of the LCA is introduced in order to produce better sustainable packages.
